After a relaxing breakfast, embark on a cultural adventure with a guided tour of Stone Town, the historic capital of Zanzibar. Explore the winding streets, visiting landmarks such as the Old Fort, House of Wonders, the Anglican Cathedral, and Freddie Mercury’s House. After immersing yourself in the rich history of the city, enjoy a local lunch before proceeding to a spice plantation.

After some relaxation on the sandbanks, you’ll return to your resort in the evening, where you can unwind and savor dinner.

Spend this day at leisure, soaking up the natural beauty of Zanzibar’s beaches. You can relax by the ocean, swim in the crystal-clear waters, or indulge in optional water sports such as kayaking, paddleboarding, or kitesurfing.
